Joyce

I hesitated to purchase this book. It sounded a bit depressing, but the reviews sold me and I am so glad I gave it a chance. Poignant...the word that best describes it. It reminds me a bit of Robert Sawyers WWW.Wake series. I am already looking for more books by John Green...I have had Will Grayson on my wish list for awhile and I will use my next credit on it...I read a couple of reviews that indicated this book hit a little too close to home and was difficult emotionally. I would agree that this would be difficult reading for someone who has a loved one dealing with cancer--I would have had a hard time with this book 5 years ago when someone I loved dearly was losing the battle with cancer--although I know he would have thoroughly enjoyed the dark humor--and would probably have quoted it on a regular basis. That might be part of the reason I enjoyed this so much...as it reminded me of someone I love and miss. Highly recommend this book and author.
